We booked this expecting a hotel with cooked breakfast what we got was a hostel the rooms were vile, although the bathroom was clean, there was no cooked breakfast, we didn't eat anything but if you did you would have to use the toaster or have cereals, I would not stay at Sandown again it seemed to be a hostel for single women with children and i certainly wouldn't class this as a hotel. I don't know where the photos of the rooms were taken from as they certainly weren't in Sandown.

We stayed here several times in the past and always found it excellent value and very welcoming. However, that was some time ago and sadly, the same cannot be said of it now. The bedroom was acceptable though certainly not luxurious and the shower worked well. The first disappontment was on the first morning. In the past, we had an excellent cooked breakfast, prepared and served by a real character but this time, only cereal, toast and tea or coffee were available. I hope the the bread had been in the freezer because it was well past its sell-by date. There was no butter either which was a shame for those people unlucky enough to react badly to margarine. At least the margarine was in an individual sealed container, unlike the second morning when it was simply in a couple of open bowls. There were hardly any cereals on the second morning either so we simply gave up and left. The chap on reception was sympathetic but couldn't provide anything else, although he did promise that butter woul be available the next time. My mate told him not to bother as there certainly wouldn't be a next time. The owners were so friendly and helpful last time we stayed there but this time, they seem to have abandoned the staff.

We stayed in the apartment, a few roads from the Hotel, we thought it was under renovation however apart from the decor being terrible, very rough, the bathroom was very dirty the bath had rings of dirt around it, the mirror was all broken, the toilet cistern a hanging off, hence none of us had a wash, the bed linen was dirty and had not been changed there was old food between the sheets and the dovet covers. We all ended up sleeping on top of the beds with our coats over us.

Even though its under renovation there is no reason for everything to be so dirty!

This hotel is the worst place I have ever had to stay in, I was placed in this
Hotel for a week as I was working in manchester and I'm not joking the rooms
Are like crack heads bedrooms. The area that this hotel is situated in is
To be kind like the estate from shameless. The tellys don't work and the
Reception and dining area are shocking. Also this is I'm sure a half way house
For complete drop outs and degenrate idiots. Please please don't stay here
Its not worth it. Its wrong ,wrong ,wrong, wrong
